    • Trivia
      The ninth pairing out of ten movies of comic actors and great friends Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.
    • Goofs
      When Herb comes up to Charlie, who is faking an injury in front of Liz in order to elude Gil, the two pretend to not know each other and Liz believes them, even though they were looking around in her suite together when she and her mother walked in.
    • Quotes

      Charlie: There's no such thing as too late. That's why they invented death.

    • Crazy credits
      During the first part of the credits, the cast (singly and in pairs) dances; during the latter part, we see outtakes.

    Thanks for the laughs!
    Walter Matthau plays Charlie Gordon who cons his widower brother-in-law Herb Sullivan (Jack Lemmon) into a cruise in search of rich and lonely ladies.What he doesn't tell Herb is that they have to be dance hosts. Out to Sea from 1997 is a comedy with excellent actors.There are great performances from Elaine Stritch, Dyan Cannon, Gloria DeHaven, Rue McClanahan, Estelle Harris, Hal Linden and Donald O'Connor.Lemmon and Matthau make a great team in the lead.This movie would be much worse without them.This legendary couple saves the movie.They're both dead now.Matthau died July 1st 2000 and Lemmon June 27th 2001.These two made us laugh in so many movies.The world of comedy lost a lot with them.So thanks for the laughs you two.We will miss you very much.
